Step-by-step pattern for women's pajamas

At first glance, sewing cotton, silk, flannel and lace pajamas for girls, women or girls may seem like a daunting task. But, using ready-made patterns for women’s pajamas with shorts and a step-by-step description of the process, you can easily create a similar wardrobe item with your own hands.

First of all, you need to take measurements. To do this, you will need 2 elastic bands 50-100 cm long, which we tie at the hips and waist. First, we measure the circumference of the thigh (Ob) at the most convex points and the length of the seat (DS) with a centimeter. We measure the last parameter with a centimeter from the top elastic band to the bottom along the side.
After all the measurements are taken, a pattern is made for women's pajamas with shorts. To create a pattern for pajama shorts with an elastic band, you will need special paper and a dark felt-tip pen.
You can sew homemade shorts and a T-shirt or sleep top from satin or choose silk fabric. To make a pattern on a sheet of paper, place a dot on top, marking it with the letter T. From this point downwards we draw a straight line corresponding to the intended Ds. We put point B and add another 3 cm, fixing point H. From point B we put point B up, which is calculated as follows 0.1*(0.5*Rb) + 4 cm. From point B we put 2 to the left and right sides points: B1 and B2. We calculate them in this way - Ob/4 + 2 cm. We draw vertical lines from points B1 and B2.
Then you need to draw horizontal lines to the left and right from points T, B and H, marking them T1, T2, B1, B2, H1, H2, respectively. From point B2 we move point B3 to the right, counting 0.1*0.5*Rb+1.5 cm.
From point T2 we count 1.5 cm to the left. This will be point T3. Using a ruler, we connect points T3 and B2 with a straight line. We connect points B2 and B3 with a smooth curve.
We put 3 centimeters down from point B3, draw a vertical line and put point H3. We set aside 3 cm from H3 and connect the resulting point to B3 with a straight line.
From point B1 we lay off a segment that is equal to Ob/10. This will be point B4. From point T1 to the right we count 4 cm and place point T4. From this point we set aside 5 cm straight up, drawing a vertical line. We place point T5, which we connect with a straight line to B1. A smooth curved line connects B4 and B1.
From point B4 we draw a straight vertical line down, fixing point B5. From it to the right we set aside 1 cm and connect it to point B4. At the end, we connect points T5 and T3 with a straight line. This is the waist line. The construction of the pattern is not complicated, so such a simple pattern will be understandable and feasible even for beginners.
Since we don’t wear sleep shorts at the waist, we need to step back 5 cm from point T3 and connect the resulting point to T4. This way we get a new waist line. Before sewing women's pajamas with your own hands, the resulting patterns must be cut along the contour with scissors.
We sign the pattern, fixing where the top of the shorts is, the back part and the front. It is also necessary to sign where the middle seam of the back and front is.
You can make summer night shorts from any fabric that you like in color and feel. Fold the fabric in half face to face. Lay out the pattern parallel to the bottom of the fabric. Leave about 3 cm at the bottom for the seam. We pin the pattern at the bottom with pins. In total, about 15-20 pins will be required to secure the pattern. We also fix the top part of the pattern.
It is necessary to leave allowances for the seams and at the top. Leave approximately 5 cm for the width of the elastic and seam allowance. We fix everything with tailor's chalk. Along the middle seam of the front and back, you also need to leave 2 cm per seam. We also leave 2 cm along the crotch seams and at the bottom of the shorts. We also trace the pattern along the contours, while cutting out the shorts according to the allowances.
After the pajamas are cut out and cut out on the fabric with your own hands, we pin the pins, fixing them along the middle seam of the back and front. Remove the paper pattern. Using a machine, we sew a seam along the marked line along the middle seam of the back and front. Iron the resulting seams and overlock them with an overlocker.
After sewing the seams, iron them again. The seam along the butt needs to be stretched a little to turn it into a straight line.
Next you need to sew the crotch seam. To do this, we combine the fabric together, secure it with pins, sew it on a machine, then overlock it and iron it.
When the women's pajamas with shorts are almost ready, all that remains is to process the top and bottom. We start from the bottom, putting 2 cm from the edge on the wrong side. Draw a line with soap or tailor's chalk. We fold the fold along the line, iron it and sew along the edge of the fold with a straight stitch.
We put 2 cm up along the wrong side, drawing a line with chalk. Fold the edge with the marked line and iron it. From the fold we set aside double the width of the elastic. Since our elastic band is 2.5 cm wide, we measure 5 cm and draw a line. We bend it to it and iron the previous fold. We pin everything with pins and stitch it. Don't forget to leave a hole so you can thread the elastic through it later.
After everything is stitched, all that remains is to insert the elastic. Measure out the required amount of elastic on yourself and cut it off with scissors. We thread a pin through the elastic and pull it along the entire seam of the shorts. Make sure that the elastic does not twist. Finally, we sew the 2 ends of the elastic together. Straighten the elastic so that it is evenly distributed.
The pajama shorts are ready. If desired, they can be supplemented with lace or a beautiful insert can be made. In the same way, you can sew pajamas for girls with your own hands using beautiful children's fabric.

Pajamas - one of the most comfortable options for sleepwear. The more comfortable it is, the better you will be able to relax during sleep and get a good rest. In addition, pajamas can be used as casual wear at home. You can get this wardrobe item by visiting a specialized department of the shopping center, online store of women's pajamas or... sew it yourself!

Necessary materials

For sewing you will need cotton fabric (if you sew infrequently, for the first time it is better to choose inexpensive fabrics), piping for finishing, elastic band or elastic band, buttons and other materials for finishing.

Preparing for sewing

First you need to decide on the model and download (copy) the required pattern. Patterns can be found on the Internet or in specialized magazines sold in Ukraine. For example, these are:

pattern from the site: odensa-sama.ru

pattern from the site: odensa-sama.ru

Then the pattern is transferred to paper. In this case, be sure to follow the lines indicating your size! Special tables will help you determine it. The elements marked on paper are cut out and applied to the fabric, which is subsequently cut out.

Sewing the top

It’s best to start by sewing the top part, which is usually a blouse (but it can also be T-shirt).
It is best to start working by making side and shoulder seams. The hem must be connected to the facing, tucked and stitched, after ironing. The outer cut of the collar is decorated with piping.
Along the stitching line, it is necessary to set aside the ends of the edging for allowances. The collar pieces are folded right sides inward and stitched, seam allowances are cut close to the stitching. The collar is turned inside out and ironed, and then basted to the neckline with open cuts.
The edging is basted along the edge of the sides and overlaps the allowances at the bottom. The neckline and hem are connected to the blouse. Then lines are laid along the cuts.
The hems are turned over to press in the seams on the short sides, then turned inside out and sewn on. The back neck facing is folded with the cut inwards, the edges of the collar and lapels are stitched next to the hem.
The piping is basted and stitched onto the upper edges of the cuffs, then the cuffs are sewn from the inside out to the edges of the sleeves. After this, the cuffs are turned to the front side and sewn with the top edge to the hem.
Finally, the sleeves are sewn together, the lower ends are sewn at the seam allowances, the sleeves are sewn in and the loops of the right front are sewn.

Sewing the bottom

Pajamas can be sewn with trousers or with shorts. The sewing steps are similar. First of all, the side seams are sewn down, then the cuffs are attached to the bottom edge (by analogy with a blouse). After this, the step cuts are ground down.
The trouser elements are folded with the right sides inward, the middle seams are sewn with one line. For subsequent threading of the elastic, the allowance at the top is not used, but is left open.
The final stage is completing the drawstring. The facing of the upper edge is turned inside out, tucked under and secured with a stitch. Then, just below the top edge, lace is basted, the ends of which need to be stitched. The border is adjusted along the edge, and an elastic band is threaded into the resulting drawstring.

So, having done the above work, you will become the owner best pajamas hand-sewn. And if you don’t want or don’t have the opportunity, you can pay attention to presented on the site www.halatik.com.ua models. The variety of options ensures that you will find something to suit your taste!

Choosing materials for pajamas

Before you start sewing nightwear, you need to choose the type of fabric.

Additional Information! You need to purchase an elastic band - width 0.5 m, length depends on waist size. You can also buy lace in the form of a ribbon - width 5 cm, length from 1 meter.

Product material:

Natural fabrics will help pass air to the body and help create comfort for the girl. A product made from this material meets hygienic requirements and does not cause irritation or discomfort. For example, cotton, flannel. The pajamas will look great after washing and will not lose their original color. As a result, a woman receives soft, pleasant pajamas without puffs or pilling. When the fabric contains 7-10% elastane, the item has all the properties of the dominant material.
Synthetic fabrics have natural, bright colors, which attracts the fair sex. For example, silk will provide a pleasant tactile sensation. The appearance, despite the primitive cut, speaks of nobility and the high cost of the product. Especially suitable for summer, as the fabric does not retain heat. Disadvantage: skin irritation may occur.

Important! There is no need to use fabrics with 100% natural composition for sewing. A small amount of synthetic fibers will make the item more practical and help keep its shape.

The choice of fabric depends on the season, since the seasons require different densities and the ability to retain heat from clothing.

straight line left, right;
quilting;
stitching lines;
triple zigzag;
overlock: home, thin, double, knitted;
hidden bottom seam;
patchwork line;
double, triple Christmas tree.

There are also hidden seams, they sew layers of fabric unnoticed. Invisible on the front side of the product, so they will not spoil the appearance. For example, shorts, T-shirt, pants. This type of seam is hidden among the cuts of material. Beginner seamstresses are advised to practice cutting fabric, as this is a complex type of stitch that will not work the first time. Used for processing thin material, its lower part.

Overlock seam - holds the threads of woven fabrics to prevent them from diverging. Without such a seam, the edges of the fabric turn into fringe. This type of seam, made by hand, is called a loop seam. But a sewing machine will perform the stitching procedure better and faster than a person.

Pajamas are a type of home clothing used primarily for sleeping. The word pajama comes from the Hindi language. It originally comes from a Persian word literally meaning “leg clothing,” that is, trousers. Typical pajamas consist of loose pants and a shirt, but the current interpretation of pajamas has changed somewhat and modern pajama sets can consist of trousers, breeches or short shorts, and the shirt is quite harmoniously replaced by a T-shirt with long or short sleeves.

Today, in almost every city there are companies that offer printing images on fabrics and canvases. Print the image on the knitted fabric according to the markings, and then cut out the front. You can download the image we offered below.

IMPORTANT! Before buying fabric, be sure to ask printing specialists what kind of knitted fabric it is possible to print an image on and whether there are any restrictions on the quality of the fabric and what is needed for this.

How to cut a T-shirt for pajamas

To sew a T-shirt you will need: about 0.8 cm of gray knitted fabric 1.8 m wide (a cooler is ideal).

Details of the T-shirt cut are given in Fig. 3. Additionally, cut out a bias strip of fabric in a contrasting color, 4 cm wide (1.5 cm in finished form) and the length of the neck of the back and front. When cutting pieces, be sure to add 1 cm allowances on all sides, 2 cm at the bottom of the T-shirt and sleeves. We recommend sewing pajamas - a T-shirt and trousers - with a four-thread overlock stitch.

Rice. 3. T-shirt cut details

The length of the trousers according to the pattern along the side seam is about 104 cm. The pajama trousers pattern is given in natural size in 5 sizes, you just need to download and print it. We have prepared two formats for you - A0 (can be printed in A0 format at a copy center) and A4 (can be printed in A4 format on any printer, then the sheets must be glued together).

IMPORTANT! The waistline of the trousers is lowered by 4 cm. Take this into account when checking the pattern. Patch and side pockets on pajamas can be omitted.

How to determine your size

Take measurements from the figure and compare them with the measurements from the Table. The main measurement for trousers is the hip circumference. When choosing the size of a trouser pattern, it is also important to take into account the Seat Height measurement. It is the seat height that determines the level of location (depth) of the middle seam. And if the seam depth is insufficient, the trousers will be “shallow” and vice versa.

Compare your measurements with the table and determine your trouser size. Then check the selected size as shown in fig. 2.

Rice. Table of women's measurements

How to check a pattern

Sometimes when printing, due to printer settings, the pattern may be forcibly compressed. It is for this purpose that a “test square” with sides of 100 x 100 mm is applied to the pattern pieces. After printing the pattern, first measure the sides of the square and make sure that the pattern is printed correctly.

Rice. 5. How to check your pajama pants pattern

To check the suitability of the size you have chosen (in Fig. 2, size 50), measure according to the pattern:

Middle seam length: X1+X2
Waist: X3+X4
Pants length X5
Pants width at the bottom: X6+X7

Compare the values obtained with your measurements. Since trousers are made from knitted fabric, the measurements should be equal to those taken from the figure, or have slight deviations up or down.

How to cut pajama pants

To sew trousers you will need: 1.2 m of azure blue knitted fabric, 160 cm wide, about 0.9 m of elastic, 3 cm wide, thread.

Hello. Since the last post we have spent time in the hospital. Artem was very worried about an ingrown toenail. At first, our doctors decided to remove part of the nail, but then they changed their minds, and we got away with three weeks of bandages with levomekol.

Next up is my pajama shorts. By the way, wearing such clothes in hospitals is prohibited. Not that I tried, but I read the rules of conduct. Oh well, no matter what, I took them with me, yes.

Since this is knitwear and pajamas, I shorten the pattern on all sides.

Initially, the pattern comes with a one-piece belt of 4 cm. It turns out that I cut off these 4 cm, and another 6 cm of shorts from the waist down.

6 cm, by the way, you can adjust it according to your preferences. As well as the length of the shorts and width.

I give an allowance of 3 cm along the top to the pattern folded along the new lines; I will fold it under the elastic band. I don’t give allowances anywhere else.

On the back half I measure the same values from the edges.

I fold it along the new lines and cut it out.

Why I fold the pattern over instead of cutting it off is because summer is coming and I plan to sew a couple more shorts. So it will still be useful.

I join the seams using an overlocker.

I bend the bottom and top. I leave a hole for the elastic.
